Original Reddit post

so I don’t know girl here, I really really miss and reminisce over all times with my bro when were kids playing stuff like Chicken Invaders, one piece, hamster ball and supersonic. I miss watching anime, especially like Haikyuu or watching football in a group. But more than anything I miss the feelings that these represented, for me innocence, joy, carefree, lightness and total immersion. I don’t know it feels like my heart and mind were less polluted with everything. I’ve since had to grow up face several deaths, illness, and work, stuff like that. It feels like something broke in me. It’s like these videos games and anime simultaneously made me believe in the good in the world and inspired me but the world is more dull than them? and at the same time, I’ve gotten too sucked into real life and feel like I can no longer just get lost in an anime, or video games, there is always some sort of other thing needing my attention. It feels like the world changed but maybe I did too. Doesn’t help that my girlfriends are not as into these things, and my brother isn’t around in the same city anymore. Part of the good memories are the gatherings and the hyper before everyone got busy in their lives. I don’t have male friends I am super comfortable doing that with either. anyways sorry for the long ass rant. submitted by /u/dreamycoeur
